Watch out homeboy  don't let it catch you
 P p prices go up  don't let your pocket go down
 When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
 Turn around  get ready  keep your eye on the prize
 And be on point for the future shock

 Hard times (repeat 2x)

 Hard times are coming to your town
 So stay alert  don't let them get you down
 They tell you times are tough  you hear that times are hard
 But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
 Hard times got our pockets all in chains
 I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
 All day I have to work at my peak
 Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak

 Hard times

 Hard times can take you on a natural trip
 So keep your balance, and don't you slip
 Hard times is nothing new on me
 I'm gonna use my strong mentality
 Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream
 B-b-beating hard times, that is my theme
 Hard times in life, hard times in death
 I'm gonna keep on fighting to my very last breath

 Hard times (repeat 6x
